USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is instructing state and county offices to not approve any sugarbeet pay groups on any application under the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) application, advising them that “additional guidance for processing sugarbeet losses will be forthcoming.”
The agency cited the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 government funding package which provided new legislation for paying sugarbeet losses under WHIP+ that require USDA to pay 2019 and 2019 losses through cooperative processors.
“Due to the new legislation, 2018 and 2019 sugarbeet loss payments may be paid outside of WHIP+,” FSA said.
It is not clear what the new guidance referenced by FSA will be.
However, contacts advise the payments will be made.
